Context mate!...context and my first impression, which was that it was shite!...(with the notable exception of 'The Magic Circus of Zeb')

Don't worry - my second impression is a little more favourable!

The context is important as at the time I got 'The Flower King' and gave it a try, I was also discovering several other groups and my first impression of the likes of: 'Milliontown', 'Fear of a Blank Planet' and 'Pictures' , was so much better than that!

...anyway!...as of yesterday I'm officially back listening to 'The Flower King' (but it has to vie with 'Second Life Syndrome' which has just arrived )

Well, thanks to Nikki's insistance, I got Flower Power.I've got to say I absolutely love it , so you can now count me in as one of the gang

Oh yes! She shoots she scores!TFK convert No 1 Oh yeah ........... hi ......... i'm back ......... had some stuff going on ........ did you miss me? No, thought not Great stuff Oz, was great that you got Flower Power before flying off into the unknown!As Nov says there's heaps more where that came from so let me know when you're ready for the next level in the game The Space Revolver level possibly Well yesterday i felt i'd neglected the TFK boys for far too long in favour of Riverside, sigh, so many bands so little time ......... So got Paradox Hotel out for a play How flippin great is this after a long spell away?Answer = Mega great Love it, love it, love it Fraser, if i'd known you were going to say that about Flower Power i'd have left you to walk to your hotel after The Phantoms gig What's more i'd have left Tanya with you now that would have been really bad of me Just kidding mate, in 6 months time you'll think it's fantastic Probably .............

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in totally exhausted and yelling: Holy shit, what a ride!

Oh yeah ........... hi ......... i'm back ......... had some stuff going on

Hope you're OK

All we've got to do now is concince Fraser how brilliant it is.

Well there's not really a level up from Flower Power is there? He's gone in right at the top level........

Quote:

The Space Revolver level possibly

........apart from that level of course

I thought you were going off TFK in favour of Riverside and The Phantoms to be honest.

The longer you leave it, the better it is when you whip it out for a play

Quote:

Answer = Mega great Love it, love it, love it

I guess she likes it

Quite right !!

Did you stay over after the gig then Fraser. I hope you felt it was all worth it.

DEFINITELY!!

Actually, I'm thinking that Fraser prefers more straight ahead kinda stuff and sort of knows on first play if he's going to like something. Riverside and PT are much more immediate bands than TFK and I can understand why Fraser finds some of the TFK stuff a bit hard work.

How ya doin First of all apologies Nov apologies for not making the gig last week , trying to save some money for my flat move and I might be going to paris next week to see Jarre anyone wanna join me lol

I love Stardust , top , top album but haven't played Flower Power yet. To be honest I thonk I need a break from FK only because I've played them and nothing else for the last two month so need to play some thing different so they come back to me 'fresh' if you know what I mean.

If you think you need a break from them then take it Gooner. There's no point in trying to appreciate "Flower Power" if you're not in the mood for it mate.

I'm having a bit of a break from them myself. Everything seemed to be leading up to the concert and now that's in the past, I feel I need a bit of a TFK holiday. Mind you, I'm pretty busy with gigs and rehearsals of my own at the moment anyway.

After a few months, you'll come back refreshed to them and be ready for "Flower Power".
